Very proud to share this news! Serving on the Board of Trustees at @awen_wales is an absolute joy, and I'm looking forward to supporting this wonderful organisation through the exciting years ahead as Chair.

Lovely unscripted moment this morning in the Welsh Parliament as a brilliant young choir from Ysgol Treganna in Cardiff - singing Safwn yn y Bwlch in rehearsal - bump into the Prime Minister (watch their reaction at the end 🎶)

What image from the last 14 years will you remember when you vote on Thursday ?

In case you missed it - we have an exciting opportunity to join the Fundraising Dream Team at @ShelterCymru but the deadline is quickly approaching! If you're looking to progress, or start, a career in Events & Community Fundraising, we'd love to hear from you ⬇️

We’ve launched a new raffle with a spectacular prize. Win a VIP theatre experience and support people in housing need: * Two tickets to see @michaelsheen in Nye * Pre-show meal * Overnight stay And – MEET MICHAEL AFTER THE SHOW! For details and to enter: bit.ly/3UbGkKv

What a special evening at the @GrandPavilion - a phenomenal performance, as always, from the immensely talented members of Bridgend Youth Theatre, and the perfect way to bring the curtain down for the final time before the redevelopment begins. Congratulations all!

“The most important fact in modern British domestic politics: in the 1990s, a first-time buyer couple on a low-to-middle income saving 5% of their wages would have enough for an average deposit after three years. Today it would take them 24 years.” telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/03/1…

Proof positive that my boss is an absolute legend ❤️
